Whats the difference between the 1080 boot and the 1080 pro boot or course boot as it's sometimes called. Is it just that the pro is stiffer?? and like for more backcountry?? I want a get boot that won't kill my shins off cliffs and jumps, and I want a boot to go skiing everywhere with. But if i get the pro boot, i don't want it to be to stiff, And I'm only about 115pounds. Just wondering if anyone has skied
these two. Thanks

1080 pro=stiffer, different fit, different liner.

I have the pro-models. Basically, they are stiffer than the 1080s for big mountain, and skiing out of the park. I ride them everywhere because they have bolts in them you can take out to make them as soft as the tens. They are super absorbant on flat landings, and are damn comfortable. The only downside is the pros are about $200 more expensive.

The Pro Models are not under the 1080 line. They are actually under the Course line, which means they have the same last (MUCH narrower than the 1080 boot) and the same super nice heat-moldable CF Pro liner as the Course boot. Pretty close flex this year, with the 1080 at 80 (or is it 85? Can't remember) and the ProModel at 90. Its mostly the nicer liner and much better fit for smaller volume feet.

So if I ski 40% Park, 40% Bumps(HARD CORE), and 20% all mountain steeps, will the 1080 hold up or be too soft? I'm 5'10', 150 lbs and very agressive.
